5. Remove Early Blooms
When you finally notice your pepper plant starting to get some blooms, you may be proud and excited. The last thing you probably want to do is have to snip off those buds and blooms. While they may be a sign that your plants are growing healthy and getting ready to produce some nice peppers, you should consider pulling them from the plant.
Doing so will allow the plant to use the energy and nutrients it has to grow strong roots and stems. This might not look as exciting as though blooms, but it will help to ensure that the plant produces more peppers. It might take a little longer for the peppers to appear, but they will be healthier, and you will notice you have more of them.
You can remove the blooms my pinching them and gently pulling away for the plant. Be careful not to break the stems on the plant as you pull off the blooms.
